My invention relates to a necktie pin, which is adapted to be secured on the' rear of a four-in-hand necktie (where it will not be seen),'for the purpose of maintaining '5 the proper appearance of the necktie while the same is being worn.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and eicient device, adapted for use in connection with a four-in-hand p necktie, which will prevent the tongue portion of the necktie from slipping with` respect to the knot, and at the same time hold the upper portionll of the apron ofthe necktie, immediately below the knot, properly spread,

is; so that thenecktie will at all times presentA a pleasing and attractive appearance.

The nature and characteristic features of my invention will be more readily understood from the following description, taken in con nection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a portion of a necktie, the device of my present invention being shown in dotted lines in connectio therewith;

Fig. 2 is a rear'elevation of a portion of the necktie, with the device in place;

Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the device, detached; v

Fig. 4 is a side elevation thereof; and

Fig. 5 is a top or plan view thereof.

Referring to the drawings, in the particular embodiment of my lnvention therein shown, 6 is a spreader plate, which, when the device is mounted u on the necktie, is positioned immediately 1below the knot thereof, on the rear. The spreader plate 6 is provided with wing portions 7 and 8 which serve to maintain the top of the apron of the necktie s read in an attractive manner.

The sprea er plate 6 is arched or bowed in horizontal plan, and the wing portions 7 and 8 thereof are sli htly flattened, this shape serving to accommo ate the spreader plate to the extra thickness of the tongue portion of the necktie.

Centrally disposed with respect to the s reader plate 6, and extending downwardly therefrom in sinuous form, is a pin 9. The pin 9 preferably extends first forwardly, as

at 10, is then curved as at 11, then extends rearwardly as at 12, and then extends downwardly, substantially'straight, as at 13, to the point thereof. Arranged on each side of the pin 9, and extending downwardly from the spreader plate 6, also in sinuous form, is a finger 14. The fingers 14 also preferably extend vforwardl as at 15'to a curved portion 16, then exten rearwar as at17, and then downwardly substantlally straight, as at 18, terminating in rearwardly curving lugs 19. The forwardly extending portions 15 of the finger members 14 are arranged substantially in the same plane as the forwardly extending portion of the pin 9, but these forwardly extending portions of the finger members are somewhat shorter in length than the forwardly extending portion 10 of the Y pin, so as to provide a space 20 between the 70 plane of the rearwardly extending portion of the pin and that of the portions 17 of the liti lingers, this space serving to accommodate the device to the thickness of the' tongue portion of the necktie.

In the use ofthe device, the four-in-hand necktie is rst tied in the usual manner, after which the point of the pin ofthe device is inserted in the necktie throughthe tongue portion thereof, immediately below the knot. The pin is then pushed downwardly, and is woven backwardly and forwardly through the filling of the apron portion of the necktie, and entirely through the tongue portion thereof.

The device being'pushed downwardly as far as possible, the upper marginal edge of the spreader plate is then positioned immediately below the knot portion ofthe necktie, serving to spread the apron portion thereof, as well as preventing the slippin of the tongue portion with respect to the ot.

I claim:

1. A necktie pin adapted to be positioned in the rear of a four-in-hand necktie, comprising a spreader plate having wing portions adapted to engage the apron portion of the necktie adjacent the knot; a centrally disposed pin extending downwardly from the spreader plate; and a finger member disf 100 posed on each side of the pin and extending ownwardly from the spreader plate the pin being adapted to be inserted through the tongue portion and part of the apron portion 5 of the necktie, and the'finger members being adapted to engage the ton ue portion of Athe necktie on the rear thereo.

2. -A necktie pin adapted'to be ositioned in the rear of a four-in-hand nec ie, comprising a spreader plate having wing portions adapted to engage the apron portion of the necktie adjacent the knot; a centrally disposed pin extending downwardly from the spreader late in sinuous form; and a finger l member is sed on each side of the pin and extending ownwardly from the spreader plate in sinuous form; the pin being adapted to be inserted through the tongue portion and part of the apron portion of the necktie, and 2 the finger members being adapted to engage the tongue portion of the necktie on the rear thereof.

3. A necktie pin adapted to be ositioned in the rear of a four-in-hand neo ie, comprising a spreader plate havingv wing portions ada ted to engage the apron portion of the nec ie adjacent the knot; a centrally disposed in extendin downwardly from the sprea er plate, sai in extending first forwardly, then backwar ly, and then downwardly to the int thereof; and a finger member dispose on each side of the pin and extending downwardly from the spreader plate, said finger members extending first orwardly, then rearwardly, and then downwardly; the pin being adapted to be inserted through4 the tongue portion and art of the apron portion o the necktie, an the finger members being adapted to engage the tongue 4 portion of the necktie on the rear thereof.

4. A necktie pin adapted to be ositioned in the rear vof a four-in-hand nec tie, comprising a spreader plate having a curved central portion adapted to extend over the 5 tongue (portion of the necktie, and wing pora tions a pted to engage the apron portion thereof a jacent the knot; a centrally disposed pin extending downwardly from the spreader pllate, said pin extending first forwardly, t en backwardly, and then downwardly to the point thereof; and a finger member dis osed on each side ofthe pin and extending ownwardly from the s reader plate, sai finger members extending st forwardly, then rearwardl and then downwardly, parallel to but 1n a` diii'erent plane from that of the corresponding plane of the pin; the pin being adapted to be inserted through t e ton e portlon and art of the 00 apron portion o the necktie, an the finger members being adapted to engage the tongue portion of the necktle on the rear thereof.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name. HARRY WEISNER.
